Skull Cameo Cookies

Haunted Gingerbread Mansion 2012

Here's this year's haunted gingerbread house, made from a Wilton Haunted Mansion kit.  I used my own royal icing as I prefer its consistency and some chocolate candy rocks from my local candy store.  Here are the creepy results:  Enjoy!

Spooky eyes and windows.

Door details.

Back view chimney detail.

Halloween Invites

Here are the sweet and simple Halloween invitations made for Baby Sugar's preschool friends. I picked up these baby pumpkins for $.69 a piece at Trader Joes and attached these home made invitation tags printed on regular card stock from Staples.  They are backed with spooky black and silver scrap book paper from Michaels, hole punched and tied together with a sweet black bow.  The invite is attached by inserting a simple straight pin through the satin ribbon and pressing securely down into the flesh of the mini pumpkin.  The perfect surprise to stash in a preschool cubby. Stay tuned for pics from the party. Enjoy!

Cookie Quickie: Monster High Fangs

Here was a request for a quick couple of dozen fangs with pink lips to go along with a Monster  High party for the ten year old birthday girl.  (I'll admit I had to look up Monster High because I am THAT unhip).  These were fast and fun. Enjoy!

Spooky Cookies

Happy Halloween!  This collection was for a client's Halloween party.  It's challenging to come up with a fresh design when it seems they've all been done before (and very well, I might add).  So here's my take on some old favorites.  A little spooky, a little sweet, just like Halloween should be for the kiddos. Enjoy!

Teeny Tiny Halloweenies

How? How did what started with me volunteering to bake seven (SEVEN) plain sugar cookies for a project at Baby Sugar's preschool Halloween party result in over THREE HUNDRED COOKIES?  I think I have some sort of cookie dismorphic disorder.  It all started out with these plain gigantic pumpkin cookies.  Then I added the facial features so the kids could do a little mix and matcheroo.  Seemed innocent enough...

Then I thought I should make the kiddos in her class a little take home Halloween treat.  Oh, and something for her teacher.  And the teacher's aid.  Oops - don't forget the nice lady who runs the school.  Maybe I'll bake them each a nice spooky cookie.  Nothing crazy. OOOOOR I could bake them each over a dozen mini cookies, package them in small mason jars all tied up pretty with an orange satin bow.  Yeah!  That's what I'll do!  And there you have it.  Take a gander at the madness.  Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!
